C++ is a workhorse. Widely used for both systems and applications development, C++ is available for virtually every operating system and has influenced and informed many derivative languages, including C# and Java. In this course, Bill Weinman guides you through the nuts and bolts of this essential language. He starts with the basics—syntax, operators, loops, and functions—and moves on to data structures, objects, and templates. He explains inheritance and operator overloads, and dives into the powerful container classes in the Standard Template Library (STL). These exhaustive C++ tutorials will provide a solid reference for both experienced programmers and those who are brand-new to the language.

Want an easy way to query and update data? To query different data stores with a single tool? LINQ is the answer. Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) extends Visual Studio with powerful query capabilities based on C# and Visual Basic. LINQ makes big data doable. In LINQ with C# Essential Training, engineer Olivia Chiu introduces techniques for querying, updating, and transforming data with LINQ.

C# is an object-oriented language designed by Microsoft and used by systems engineers, desktop programmers, and mobile app developers the world over. In these tutorials, David Gassner takes you through C#'s history, its core syntax, and the fundamentals of writing strong C# code.

C++ is a workhorse. Widely used for both systems and applications development, this programming language is available for virtually every operating system, and it has influenced many C derivatives, such as C# and Java. In this course, Bill Weinman dissects the anatomy of C++ and explores the C++ Standard Library.

Widely used for both systems and application development, C is a powerful language at the heart of many more modern languages, like JavaScript and Objective-C. In this course, professor Isac Artzi dissects the anatomy of C, from data types, strings, and variables to simple functions. He'll show how these basic elements fit together in control structures like loops and if-else statements—where the real logic behind your code comes into play. Plus, learn how C organizes information into arrays and how you can manage memory resources with pointers.

Take a tour of the foundational programming language at the heart of several Microsoft platforms, including Windows, ASP.NET, Silverlight, SharePoint, and Windows Phone, with author Joe Marini. Joe walks through the basic syntax and structure of the language, introduces object-oriented concepts, and shows how to define custom classes. The course also demonstrates using C# language features, compiling and running code, handling exceptions, reading and writing files, and addressing common compilation issues through debugging.

Widely used for both systems and applications development, the C and C++ programming languages are available for virtually every operating system and are often the best choice for performance-critical applications. In this course, Bill Weinman dissects the anatomy of C and C++, from variables to functions and loops, and explores both the C Standard Library and the C++ Standard Template Library. Features introduced in the C++11 standard (ratified in 2011) are also discussed. This course serves both as an end-to-end tutorial for those new to the language and a solid reference for experienced C/C++ programmers.

There are a lot of programming languages out there, but Objective-C is the best choice for developers who want to develop iOS and OS X apps. This course is your primer. Get the tools you need, learn the structure of Objective-C, and get your first code up and running. Author Simon Allardice also walks you through the Foundation framework, a collection of prewritten code that makes the coding process easier; shows you how to design and build your own classes; and provides memory management techniques—the key to efficient programming. Plus, learn how to make your way around Xcode 5, the app to write, test, and debug Objective-C, and into advanced features like categories, protocols, and dynamic typing.
